Question 3

What is Generative Engine Optimization?

Accepted Answer

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of making AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini recommend your brand. Like SEO is for Google search, GEO is for AI search. In 2026, over 1 billion daily queries go to AI platforms.

Question 4

How is GEO different from SEO?

Accepted Answer

SEO gets you ranked on Google search results. GEO gets you recommended inside AI responses. When someone asks ChatGPT for the best tool in your category, AI gives one direct answer — either your brand is in it or your competitor is. GEO measures and improves that visibility.

Question 5

How do I improve my GEO score?

Accepted Answer

To improve your GEO score: 1) Get listed on G2, Capterra, and review platforms. 2) Build Reddit and forum presence. 3) Get a Wikipedia page if you qualify. 4) Publish comparison articles vs competitors. 5) Ensure consistent category messaging everywhere. GEOscore Pro gives you a personalised 7-step action plan.

Yes. GEOscore is free forever for one brand scan per day. Check if ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini recommend your brand at getgeoscoreai.com. No credit card required.

Question 7

What is the average GEO score for brands?

Accepted Answer

Based on thousands of brand scans in 2026, the average brand GEO score is 29 out of 100. Only 8% of brands score above 70. Most brands score between 15 and 40. If your brand has Reddit threads, G2 reviews, or a Wikipedia page, your score is typically 2–3x higher.

Question 8

What is AEO and how does it differ from GEO?

Accepted Answer

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets your content into direct answers — featured snippets, voice search, and AI overviews. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets your brand recommended inside conversational AI responses from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. AEO is about content structure; GEO is about brand authority signals. Both matter in 2026.

Question 9

Which brands are best at GEO in India?

Accepted Answer

Among Indian brands, Razorpay, Groww, and PhysicsWallah score highest on GEOscore — all above 80/100. These brands have strong Wikipedia presence, active Reddit communities, and consistent category messaging across third-party review sites. Brands like Mamaearth and Wakefit score below 30 despite strong Google SEO, showing that GEO requires a completely different strategy.

Question 10

How long does it take to improve a GEO score?

Accepted Answer

Most brands see measurable GEO score improvements within 30–60 days of running a focused GEO campaign. Quick wins: getting listed on G2 and Capterra (1–2 weeks), publishing comparison articles (2–4 weeks), and building Reddit community presence (4–8 weeks). Wikipedia and high-authority backlinks take 2–6 months but provide the biggest score lifts.
